@highlander_73: The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, celebrated on September 14th, commemorates two primary events: 1. The dedication of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem in 335 AD, which was built over the site of Christ's crucifixion and tomb. 2. The recovery of the True Cross from the Persians in 628 AD by the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius, who then returned it to Jerusalem. The feast is a celebration of the Cross not as an instrument of suffering, but as a symbol of victory, redemption, and eternal life through Christ's sacrifice. It is a day to honor the Cross's triumph over death and its power as a sign of salvation. #CapCut #jesus #HolyCross #Love #John3_16
